WoW! I am very interested in looking into this. I am short on time,very busy, but I am look forward to understanding what this is, and how we can use it. I'll get back to you ! Thanks jjseeker.

I would also be interested in building one of these machines. If you find more info please share it. Maybe some of us could work together and build several of them. I have the CNC machine shop, but I'm not so good with electronics. Team work.

You don't even have to build it yourself, if you've got $3,000 to spare.

Or this might be a better option for $5,000

I downloaded all the solidworks files from the Fab@Home site.

I am not sure how detailed they were but I have a BOM of all electrical and mechanical parts required. I will check what I have and post list.

The hobbiest who posted this site also has a company that will build one for you.

Forgot the pricing, but if I have that with my info, I will post.

I wish I had info to add. I've worked with several 3d printers and this looks like one I might just have to build myself.

The web site lists solidworks models of the parts. I don't have solidworks at work but I'll check them out when I get home. If the info is there I'll let you know.

The Solidworks files I saw looked like assembly drawings, and only screen shots at that. If they are really .sldprt's it should be easy enough to get all the dimensions we need for the chassis and syringe housings most of the other hardware is on the boms, I'll post anything good when I can, thanks guys.

Has any one seen if on the dual syringe model if bridge (support) material can be used to create more complex models?
